PVA Natural Filament 0.50kg

General

PVA is a water soluble plastic, which can perfectly be used for the creation of supporting structures for complex prints. Just put your ABS or PLA print with PVA support in a container with water (+/- 40 °C) and the PVA will dissolve, without leaving a trace on your printed object.

Temperature properties

For successful printing correct temperature settings are essential. The material properties of PVA are shown in the table below.

• Glass transition temperature +/- 85 °C
• Melting temperature 190 °C
• Nozzle temperature 190-220 °C

Use them as a starting point, optimal values for your specific printer may vary from the values shown above, depending on e.g. nozzle diameter, printing speed and layer height. As the PVA is flexible and can buckle if not guided properly. Printing PVA on printers with a Bowden cable is not recommended due to the compressibility of the filament. For printers with the extruder motor close to the print nozzle the compressibility effect is negligible.
